... and took us where we wanted to go. This time the Museo de Oro, unlike the one in Santa Marta, really was a gold museum, but also contained many exhibits on the indigenous native population who (surprise, surprise) produced many of the gold artifacts in the museum. And what else did we see – the Catedral, the Plaza de Bolivar???? Huh, are we still in Santa Marta? Just kidding. Reminds me of the story we heard on our ...
